To provide a method for laying bricks, by which molten iron and slag are stably discharged from a plurality of tap holes to be well-balanced, the frequency of tapping is reduced and the life of refractory bricks in the vicinity of the tap holes is prolonged.

The laying part of the bricks in the vicinity of the tap hole is projected to the inside of a blast furnace to be provided with a projecting part and the distance between the center of an opening part of the tap hole in the furnace side surface of the projecting part and the upper end of the furnace side surface of the projecting part is controlled to 0.5 to 1.2 m.
